Asher and Vaden have a great time playing together. They are very active and require a lot of supervision still as they also love to tease each other.
This year Asher is still doing Monkey Preschool, and Vaden gets to join in when I am teaching. They both love it and they love to learn. I wish I had more patience and time to spend time with them just learning and doing activities.
One activity we did was make a gingerbread house.

I know that these are normally made before Christmas, but we didn't need more activities then!

Vaden and Asher are both great siblings to Emmet. They love to spend time with him and even fight over him. Vaden is a great little mom for him. She love to help out and make sure that he is always okay. Of course she also loves to play rough and doesn't quite understand why she can't play hide and seek with him by smothering him with a pillow. Asher is so great and gentle with Emmet. He truly loves him and talks to him all the time. I hope that Asher will always talk to Emmet and share his experiences with him.
Asher and Vaden love to play with Daddy. Daddy lets them play rough and wrestle him. They also love to get horse rides from Daddy. But when Dads not available, Asher is a great sport to give Vaden rides.
It's always fun to watch since Vaden is almost too big for Asher to carry.
They sleep together every night, no matter what room it is. Sometimes they sleep in their own toddlers bed in their shared bedroom. Sometimes they sleep together in the twin bed in Daddy's office. Sometimes Asher will sleep in the twin bed and Vaden will sleep on the floor in Daddy's office. And sometimes they talk Dad into letting them fall asleep in Mom and Dad's bed!
Here they are in our bed. I love how they are sleeping together.
In January we took them to Leesburg Animal Park to play and see the animals.
They have a fabulous indoor area with a play place, an art area, a picnic area, and an animal show.
The kids got to see the animals up close and even touch them.
Vaden had no fear and touched all the animals. Emmet was curious and just wanted to grab anything. Asher is still nervous around animals and won't touch them.
The next round of pictures is of Vaden and how we are constantly catching her...
Naked!
Whenever she goes potty, she takes off all her clothes and doesn't put them back on. Since she is potty trained she goes to the bathroom all by herself (which is awesome) but she never tells us. So there are lots of times that we find her playing without her clothes.
It was funny at first but now it's just frustrating that I can't keep her dressed!
The biggest surprise we have is when we find her sleeping like this:
It means she went potty without coming downstairs and put herself back to bed. She doesn't like to sleep with blankets either so she was pretty cold until we checked on her:)
Asher is growing up fast. He started Primary this year in Sunbeams.
He also just got his hair cut in this picture which always makes him seem older somehow.
Asher and Vaden are great kids and I love them so much. I am excited to see them grow more and to see their relationship continue to grow.
